Copy and paste those dns server ip addresses in /etc/resolve.conf
actually you need to run:
route add default gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where the xxx is the gateway
you have to do this everytime you switch to a new provider in fedora.
Not true. I've been using Fedora for a long time and with different providers
and I've never had to do this.
You do have to add the correct dns though, since wvdial (or rather pppd) does
not add it to /etc/resolv.conf but rather to /var/run/pppd/resolv.conf.
Moreover, NetworkManager in Fedora manages all thing network related including
the dns.
For the OP, I would suggest either of these two approaches:
a. Configure your aircel connection using NetworkManager. ie: Connect your phone
and click the NetworkManager icon in your panel (the one that looks like the 2
monitors) and see if there is an option to create a new GSM/GPRS connection. If
there is click on that and follow the instructions. If there isn't in most
likely NetworkManger could not detect your phone as a GPRS capable modem, so
you'll have to try (b)
b. run the following commands as root:
$ service NetworkManager stop
$ wvdial
# and possibly in another terminal
$ ln -sf /var/run/pppd/resolv.conf /etc/
You can of course start wvdial in the background (wvdial &) and put all 3
commands as a script.
